Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of nutmeg-dusted strawberry custard, caramelized passionfruit, candied lemon peel, toasty croissant, and white pepper with a velvety, dry light-to-medium body and a complex, long finish that shows nuances of sarsaparilla, anisette cookie, and rum-raisin pudding. A supple, creamy, spice-laden Speyside Malt that satisfies.
